How important is Math II?

Applying to College
1

<p>In terms of applying to schools like USC, JHU, WUSTL, Duke and others, does a Math II subject test really help or will a high score on, lets say, Bio and US History do fine?</p>

<p>They’re all the same. It’s not like Math II is more important than Bio.</p>

<p>USC: recommends but does not require IIs, taking Math 2 is a good idea for applying for science or engineering but otherwise any two will do.</p>

<p>JHU: does not require but recommends three IIs (so you should seriously consider taking a third one for there); as to engineering it virtually requires at least two IIs because it says you “should” submit a Math 2 and a science; otherwise math not needed</p>

<p>Duke requires two IIs: math 2 is required for engineering, otherwise not needed.</p>

<p>WUSTL: recommends two IIs without specification but if applying engineering or science you should consider it.</p>

<p>drsuba is right in suggesting it depends on what you want to study. For engineering or science it is better. For history, it does not matter.</p>
